Letters from the American Desert: Signposts of a Journey, A Vision. Frederick Glaysher.
ISBN: 9780967042114. 0967042119.

Frederick Glaysher invokes a global vision beyond the prevailing conceptions entrenched in postmodernism and postmodernity.
In Letters from the American Desert, Glaysher reflects on the cultural, political, and religious history of Western and non-Western civilizations, pondering the dilemmas of postmodernity, in a compelling struggle for spiritual knowledge and truth. Fully cognizant of the relativism and nihilism of modern life, Glaysher finds a deeper meaning and purpose for the individual and the world community in the writings and global vision of Baha’u’llah, as expressed in the Reform Bahai Faith. Confronting the antinomies of the soul, grounded in the dialectic, Glaysher charts a path beyond the postmodern desert.
Alluding to Martin Luther and W. B. Yeats
at All Souls Chapel, Glaysher calls Reform Bahais and others to consider the
universal, moderate form of the Bahai Teachings as interpreted by Abdu’l-Baha,
Baha’u’llah’s son, who had spoken throughout the West in Europe, England, and
the United States from 1911 to 1913. Abdu’l-Baha’s message of the oneness of
God, all religions, and humankind holds out a new hope and vision for a world in
spiritual and global crisis. Far from a theocracy, the Reform Bahai Faith
envisions a modest separation of church and state as the will of God, in harmony
and balance with universal peace, in a global age of pluralism, where religious
belief is a distinctive mark of the individual, not communal identity.

Frederick Glaysher.
“New Titles Elected for
Essay and General Literature Index,” September 2007, H. W. Wilson Co.
ISBN: 9780967042183. 0967042186. Hardcover. 337 pages. Earthrise Press, 2007. $34.95. Free USA Shipping & Handling.
East and West meet in a new synthesis of a global vision of
humankind—ranging over classic literature, ancient and modern, both
Western and non-Western, from the dilemmas of modernity in Yeats, Eliot,
Milosz, Bellow, Dostoevsky, to Lu Xun, Tamura Ryuichi, Kenzaburo Oe,
Naguib Mahfouz, R. K. Narayan, among others, from mimesis and
deconstruction to the United Nations, with extensive essays on Chinese,
Japanese, and South-Asian literature. Glaysher invokes a global vision
beyond the prevailing conceptions of life and literature that have
become firmly entrenched in contemporary world culture.

The Bower of Nil: A Narrative Poem. Frederick Glaysher
ISBN: 0967042178. Hardcover. Reverberations. 71 pages. Earthrise Press, 2002. $21.95. Free USA Shipping & Handling.
Peter Marsh, an academic philosopher,
weighs modern life in a conversation with his friend, David Emerson, a
businessman. Brought together after long separation by the brutal murder of
Mary, Peter’s wife, a time of devastating loss and crisis, their friendship
inspires a dark night of the soul, during which Peter’s meditations range over
several hundred years of philosophy, politics, religion, social change, the
dilemmas of existence, evoking a vision of the complexities of the 21st Century,
the United Nations, and global governance.

Into the Ruins: Poems. Frederick Glaysher
ISBN:
0967042127. Hardcover. Preface. 73 pages. Earthrise Press, 1999. $19.95. Free USA Shipping & Handling.
Into the Ruins confronts much of the human experience left out of the balance by postmodern poetry, often compared to the Alexandrians and the
Neoterics, when writers similarly concentrated on the minor themes of personal life, while ignoring the challenging experience of the public realm.
Suffused with a tragic global vision, Into the Ruins has its gaze fixed firmly on the 21st Century.
